After the ISA Founding Conference in March 2018, India offered a LoC of USD 27.45 million for the establishment of a Solar PV Module Manufacturing Plant at N'Djamena, as per the MEA.

There are about 200 Indians and over 40 Indian companies working primarily in oil projects, international organisations, and as missionaries. Many are engaged in trade in Chad.
